Although this will mean that you will need to travel for those lessons, you won’t have the expense of renting or buying a venue for carrying out your lessons.
Prior to lockdown I was a firm believer that lessons needed to take place in an environment where the child felt confident and at ease. This was commonly the child’s home. In addition, it also meant that the parents didn’t have the inconvenience of having to travel: most parents are busy and there are often other siblings which would have to be dragged along as well.
However, then we had lockdown and the business had to make a quick and dramatic change.
We started offering online lessons as otherwise there wouldn’t be a business.
With the facilities available on zoom this was more practical than I initially imagined. We were still able to share the screen and annotate it meaning we were still able to play games and access all the resources relevant to that particular individual. It also meant we were able to offer a more cost-effective option to parents.
Online lessons, or lessons where we would travel to the individual depending on what worked better for the family.
Offering this two-teared approach has helped the business grow and meant that we are able to offer support to more and more children and students.

Morning,
I hope the week is going well.
So many people seem to be doing D of E and work experience
at the moment, good luck if that’s you and if you’re at Marlow Camp next
fingers crossed for good weather!
I’ve just finished a lesson on division. It seems to be
something that messes with the brains of so many people.
I found it got easier when I stopped thinking about it as
division and instead thought about it as multiplication. So, if for example I
had the question 396 divided by 3, I would look at it as 3x what = 3. My answer
would be 1. How many times would I need to multiply 3 to get to 9, (my answer
would be 3). Then 3x something = 6. My answer would be 2. Giving me the overall
answer of 132.
I know that’s a really simple example but hopefully it explains
my point.
Thankfully in schools they don’t often seem to need to do
long division, but I’ve worked with a couple of adults (generally nurses for
some reason) who have needed it.
I think I’ll explain this one in a video, as it will be too
complicated to explain it with words as bits get put all over the place. I hope
this makes sense though:
Enjoy the rest of the week and speak soon,
Dawn
